Description

A wonderful video of the Cranberry Bay Pack walking through a winter wonderland about 2 weeks ago when a snowstorm dropped ~12 inches of heavy wet snow across Voyageurs.

The video is particularly wonderful because it is yet another pack count of 6 wolves for the Cranberry Bay Pack. We have had several observations this winter of 6 wolves in this pack and every additional observation makes us more confident the pack is 6 wolves, no more and no less.

Interestingly, from what we can tell, the first 3 wolves in the video are all adults and the last 3 are pups. If we are correct, then this likely means that a Cranberry Bay pup died between November 2021 and January 2022 as all 4 pups were still alive as of November 2021 when the pack was 7 wolves.

At some point between November 2021 and January 2022, the pack decreased to 6 wolves indicating a pack member died or dispersed. Since it appears it was a pup that “disappeared” from the pack, we think death is more likely than dispersal. Still, 3 out of 4 pups surviving until 1 year old is pretty good and far better than most packs in our area!
